That night, the imperial kitchen was late in delivering dinner, and Lin Jiuxi and the others were getting hungry.
Sitting on the steps and counting the stars, the more I counted, the hungrier I became! Lin Jiuxi searched all the houses in Jufangyuan but couldn't find Ah Wu. He kept cursing, "No one brought me food, and I don't know where Ah Wu went!"
What happened? Until it was completely dark, Lin Jiuxi didn't see anyone coming from the imperial kitchen. She wondered if they had forgotten about her.
In fact, if Lin Jiuxi thought about it carefully, he would find that the frequency of food delivery from the imperial kitchen has been decreasing recently. Either dinner or breakfast is not delivered.
Or the food that was delivered was so cold that it was inedible.
If it weren't for Ah Wu going out to find meat every day and roasting it, Lin Jiuxi would have long since stopped caring about what they sent.
If you can’t eat it, just don’t eat it, and let them take it back unopened.
"What are you waiting for? Let's go!"

At this point, Ah Wu had nothing to say. He had already been taught Qinggong, so what else could he do? He pointed in a direction and said, "Over there!"
Ah Wu, who had just taken two steps, heard Lin Jiuxi's voice above his head and felt a little confused.
"I have contacted the spies in the palace to see if there is any news about the prince recently. Since the princess is hungry, I will go to the imperial kitchen to get some food."
Lin Jiuxi spoke with a righteous voice, but Ah Wu was stunned.
It feels good to be praised by others. Lin Jiuxi was no exception. After being praised by Ah Wu, he asked, "Where have you been? The imperial kitchen hasn't even delivered dinner yet. I'm almost starving to death!"
Ah Wu was stunned and said, "Princess, you want to go too?"
Lin Jiuxi said happily: "Yes, how about it, isn't my apprentice a quick learner?"
Lin Jiuxi looked around and felt that the imperial palace was illuminated by soft lights at night. It lacked the majesty of a hundred days and had a touch of peace.
Because he was carrying Lin Jiuxi, Ah Wu's speed was also very slow.
The knock caused her body to feel numb for a short time.
Lin Jiuxi sighed.
Because Lin Jiuxi might have miscalculated the direction the first time, he did not reach the roof directly, but jumped onto the edge of the eaves and fell heavily.
The palace was heavily guarded. Not only did the two have to hide from the patrolling imperial guards, but they also had to hide from the eunuchs and palace maids who suddenly came out of other palaces at night.
In a fit of rage, she climbed over the wall to see if there were any eunuchs or palace maids passing by so she could question them.
Lin Jiuxi watched Ah Wu's agile figure jump twice in the air and reach the roof in front, while he could still leap over it little by little. The gap between the two was really big.
This was the first time that Lin Jiuxi used Qinggong to get on the roof, and he felt a sense of pride!
After Lin Jiuxi finished speaking, he looked at Ah Wu's stunned expression and realized that he had said something wrong. He could only break the silence and asked, "Where is the imperial kitchen?"
Standing on the roof and looking at the night view of the palace is indeed a unique experience.
The light skills he had learned these days came in handy, and he easily jumped onto the wall. However, this also made Lin Jiuxi realize that it was pitch black around him.
Three parts luck and seven parts courage, Lin Jiuxi felt that it was very exciting to take a night tour in the palace.
However, the height of the wall was limited after all. Lin Jiuxi muttered: "If I could go to the roof to see the scenery of the palace, it would probably be more beautiful!"
"I'm coming too!"
Fortunately, she quickly adjusted her body and did not fall a second time.
There were lanterns lit inside and outside the courtyard of Wanxiang Palace not far away. Compared with Jufangyuan, the difference here was like heaven and earth.
When he saw Lin Jiuxi's surprised expression after settling in the room, he easily climbed onto the roof and said, "Princess, you, you came up here by yourself?"
At this time, Ah Wu climbed over the back wall of Ju Fang Yuan. Lin Jiuxi could see everything clearly from his high place. He immediately squatted down, stared at the shadow and asked, "Ah Wu?"
"Yeah, you said I worked so hard to learn Qinggong, isn't it just so that I can get something to eat when I'm hungry late at night?"
Lin Jiuxi's head, legs, back...
This little pain was nothing to her.
Ah Wu led the way in front, and Lin Jiuxi followed all the way. The two walked freely in the palace as if it was their own backyard.
She stood up and brushed the dirt off her body. She squinted her eyes, calculated where she would land, and jumped again.
In the past, Lin Jiuxi would have been eager to let Ah Wu go quickly, but now, she would rather go by herself.
"Awu, come here quickly, there is food here!"
Thinking of this, Lin Jiuxi wanted to try her own skills. Following Ah Wu's instruction, she leaped up.
Ah Wu couldn't be found today, and the imperial kitchen didn't deliver any food, so Lin Jiuxi's stomach was growling with hunger.
"Yes, the princess is very talented. She was able to learn Qinggong and boxing in a short period of time. She is a martial arts genius!"
If he remembered correctly, Lin Jiuxi said that she wanted to learn Qinggong so that she could leave the palace, not for food, right?
You will naturally learn how to do it after you get hurt from the fall. This time, Lin Jiuxi reached the roof easily, but he almost fell down because he didn't step firmly.
After lying on the ground for a while to recover, Lin Jiuxi was a little bit unconvinced. Couldn’t she climb up to a mere roof?
“Ouch, ah…”
Ah Wu opened his eyes wide and looked, while Lin Jiuxi sniffed. Smelling was much more accurate than seeing to tell whether there was anything delicious.
At this time, the chefs of the imperial kitchen had all left, leaving only the eunuchs on guard! The two men came in easily, and without turning on the lights, they had to grope in the dark to find food.
Half an hour had passed by the time the two of them hid all the way to the imperial kitchen.
Ah Wu wanted to find a chicken to roast and eat, but Lin Jiuxi had already found the fried meatballs and stewed pig's trotters left in the imperial kitchen.
"Haha, I finally mastered Qinggong, but Nangong Jing can't see it!"
Fortunately, the boxing training these days was not in vain. At least Lin Jiuxi already felt like he had thick skin and flesh.
If it weren't for the lights in the corridor over there, she would have almost forgotten where she was.
Besides, she has been in the palace for so long and she hasn't had a good look around.
As soon as Ah Wu squatted down, a meatball was stuffed in his mouth, and he almost spit it out as poison.
Lin Jiuxi sat directly on the ground, looked at him with a smile and said, "How is it? Isn't it delicious?"
Ah Wu nodded and said, "Princess, just eat a little. It would be bad if we are discovered tomorrow!"
Lin Jiuxi said nonchalantly: "You steal chickens and meat every day, you might have been discovered long ago!"
After hearing this, Ah Wu agreed and started eating with big mouthfuls.
